[osol-discuss] Slow I/O

2009-10-13 Thread Topdeck
G'day all, we have an OpenSolaris (snv_123) machine on an X3550 with an IBM MR10M RAID controller and 12 disks hanging off that in a RAIDZ2 pool. It's primarily used as an NFS server for 4 ESXi machines, and recently we've noticed a lot of slowdown. It appears that the entire OS machine hangs f

Sorry for the slow reply. In COMSTAR, the View is what *defines* the target <-> volume relation.  Until there is a View, the LUN is not visible to initiators via any target at all, period.   In other words, our sentence that "I have 3 target created from different volumes" doesn't make sense i

It looks like wxWidgets is already integrated into Opensolaris (since snv_100 apparently), so you might save yourself some time and effort unless you really want the challenge of compiling it :-) I recall having some fun and games in the past with wxWidgets. The gtk.h header (from gtk2.0)
